Joey Lawrence files for divorce from second wife Chandie as they approached their 15-year wedding anniversary – The Sun
AFTER 15 years of marriage, actor Joey Lawrence has filed for divorce from his second wife, Chandie Yawn-Nelson.
The Melissa & Joey star, 44, and his soon-to-be ex-wife share two children — daughters Charleston, 14, and Liberty, 10.
He filed the paperwork at Los Angeles County Superior Court on Friday, according to TMZ, just ahead of the couple’s 15th wedding anniversary.
The two got married in July 2005, shortly after Joey had ended his marriage to his first wife, Michelle Vella, earlier that same year.
Joey and Chandie originally dated as teens before going their separate ways, only to be reunited as adults.
The two went out on an ice cream date at Disney Wold in 1993 with Joey joking that one day they would tie the knot there, and, little did he know then, the did end up making that fairytale dream come true, 12 years later.
Joey told People in 2006: “Being the cheesy romantic that I was, I said, ‘Hey look, there’s the Disney wedding chapel! Maybe we’ll get married there one day.
“Long story short, we did!”
First, though, they parted and saw other people, with the actor marrying Michelle in 2002.
When the Brotherly Love actor reunited with Chandie after his first divorce, he told the outlet that they “hugged for about five hours.”
